Kaylynn Langerak theories?

I was debating whether or not to put this on TS2 board or TS3 but I feel more people here would care about maxis pre-mades.

I don't see many people discuss this, but Kaylynn Langerak, Pleasantview and general default maid, reappeared in The Sims 3. She is a child in Sunset Valley, where Michael Bachelor is a teen (dead of old age at the start of TS2) and Mortimer Goth is also a child, whereas in The Sims 2, she is an adult near the start of her life cycle.

I have 4 theories for this:

1. The Sims 3 Kaylynn is not The Sims 2 Kaylynn. She is a relative or just happens to have the same name. I particularly like a sub-theory of this that I read on the wiki once. That Parker, Kaylynn's brother, named his daughter after his sister. And that way the ages would check out too.

2. Time travel. I mean Don travelled back to Riverview. What stops that happening to the Langerak family?

3. Kaylynn drank elixir of life. And I mean, a lot of it.

4. Maxis didnt care about the discrepancies in age and just wanted to make a nod at The Sims 2. Most likely theory, but that's no fun, is it?

So what do you think happened to Kaylynn between the events of The Sims 2 and The Sims 3?
  • @Zei I've always thought the family would begin to fail with Zelda Mae and Dustin Langerak have an affair. IDK... The scenario is so similar to Kaylynn's affair with Daniel Pleasant. Maybe she got that from her aunt?!

    @Magnezone I would say that her age was wrong in Sims 2, cuz they didn't had YA at first. But it could be sims 3's fault too.

    To be fair, there was nothing obvious indicating her age in TS2. She might have very well been 55. And then only 5 in TS3.
    BTW I had the exact same theory! The mom discovering the affair and spiraling into depression, losing the family fortune in the process. She was the main money-maker in that family. And Kaylynn could have played out childhood traumas like you said...
  • I never played the Sims 3 but looking at the bio of the Langerak family in the Sims 3 I think your probably right. Zelda may had an affair with Dustin. But maybe she became a maid just because she likes cleaning. Or she likes to clean the houses of rich men who are interested in her lol.
